Warragamba Dam

The NSW government’s “silver bullet” solution to manage flood risk is to raise Warragamba Dam even though the global experience is that this increases the danger to communities. Jim McIlroy reports.

Tracey Carpenter reports that Traditional Owners and former Burragorang Valley residents are fighting to save Gundungurra heritage against the state government’s plans to wipe out their culture. 

Up to 1000 people marched through the streets of Katoomba, in the Blue Mountains, on June 9 to oppose the NSW Coalition government's plan to raise the wall of the Warragamba Dam by 14 metres.
